A Mighty King
Twas in the darkest pitch black of night
That those demons came pounding the gates
Taking siege round the walls of my soul.
So, I hoisted my flag up high
Inverted, and hid there to wait
In the dungeons for the King's patrol!
In fear, I tried to swim the sewers
To sneak past them by way of the lake
But the disturbance there was too great,
For they were encamped by the moors
So I swam back quiet as a snake
To that hellish and uncertain fate.
Sleep did in tarrying finally come
And with it a sweet comforting ease
From the din of my demonic siege,
I woke to the silence of the drums
And the stillness of a silent peace
By faith giving thanks to my Liege.
Embolden to venture out I went
By the calm still waters of my soul
And there I saw a beautiful thing,
My Lord Yeshua's familiar footprints
Where in battle He stood to control
Those devils, I serve a mighty King!
